A man arrested for sexually assaulting a Texas mother in front of her child was not identified as a criminal illegal immigrant by local media, despite the man being previously deported following a homicide conviction.
On January 16, Mexican national Juan Lopez, 46, raped an Austin woman in a vehicle at knifepoint while her toddler sat in the backseat.
ABC affiliate KVUE has the story, however, an article by the media outlet does not identify Lopez as an illegal alien, an illegal immigrant, an undocumented migrant, or by any other such term that would have better informed their readers:
KXAN reports the mother attempted to argue with the man, saying, “No, my son is in the car,” and that Lopez stated, “I don’t give a damn.”
Reports state police found Mexican forms of identification on Lopez when they arrested him last Thursday, with one identifying him as “Delfino Torres-Solorio.” They later learned “Torres-Solorio” had been convicted of a Travis County homicide charge in 1987.
In 2009, Lopez was released from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and deported to Mexico. It’s unknown when he made his way back into the US.
